MINNEAPOLIS—April 4, 20—Delphax Technologies, a global provider of high-speed digital printing equipment, announced it will introduce its new elan digital color print system at drupa 2012. The system, which combines major advances in inkjet and paper-handling technologies, will be showcased in Hall 8b, stand C10 with demonstrations of the elan 500 powered by Memjet.

“With elan, we are introducing a product line that has the potential not only to penetrate important segments of the market but to reshape them,” said Dieter Schilling, president and chief executive officer of Delphax. “We believe that elan’s combination of price, sheet-fed configuration and performance will make versatile high-quality color printing affordable—and profitable—for a much wider range of commercial printers than is the case today.”

Powered by Memjet technologies, elan 500 is a robust production class sheet-fed print system offering full color and 1,600-dpi print quality at speeds of up to 500 impressions per minute.

“The system’s capabilities have been shaped by our market research, including extensive customer input, on the production and competitive pressures faced by commercial printers today,” Schilling said. “The result is innovation that not only sets a new speed benchmark for inkjet technology in a sheet-fed configuration, but will also allow Delphax to market these systems at substantially lower prices than the competition.”
